Activists express disappointment

PETALING JAYA: Except for fringe groups, many social activists have expressed disappointment with the move to retain the Sedition Act 1948.

Social activist Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir also expressed surprise with the move, saying: “I assume he (Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak) had thought long and hard before he said he would abolish it and I hope he gave the same amount of thought to the reversal of the decision.
